My intention is that the division into YAML files (and, one day, entries in a GUI) is not about whether things happen to run on the same engine - that's an implementation detail. Rather, it's about whether, based on how the game is/was advertised and distributed, an average player would think of it as the same game or not. Chex Quest was a standalone game given away in breakfast cereal to children too young to be playing Doom, that's clearly not meant to be basically the same :-) That's why plutonia-wad and tnt-wad are now generated by final-doom.yaml. Technically, they're IWADs for a Doom II-compatible engine, so on a technical basis you could argue for them to be either two separate games like they were in shell-script-based g-d-p (because they're independent IWADs and you can in principle have one but not the other) or part of Doom II (because they run on the Doom II engine) - but they were sold together as Final Doom, a standalone game (as opposed to an expansion pack for Doom II), and so that's how I think their g-d-p support should be structured. Hacx is more ambiguous, because it isn't clear from the info I've seen whether it was originally sold as a Doom II addon, or as a standalone game with its own copy of the Doom II executable.

Whoever does the Strife support is welcome to include all the shareware checksums, unpacking details etc. in data/strife.yaml, but the actual package stanza should be commented out (like hexen-demo-data is at the moment). I can't support Heretic shareware until I've added a way to spell obtain these two files, concatenate them, then unpack them in the YAML files that now describe supported games, and Python code to implement that.

Please see data/hexen.yaml for a complete example (one full game, one expansion, one demo, although the demo is commented out for now). The idea is that everything that was sold as a full playable game in its own right (registered IWADs, in Doom terms) is its own .yaml file and target, but everything that depends on a particular full game (PWADs), or is a cut-down demo version of a full game (shareware/demo IWADs), is bundled into that game's target. That way, casual players who know they have acquired a game that was sold as Foo 3 can point g-d-p at its installation directory (or ideally CD), tell it foo3, and g-d-p will figure out for itself whether there are any expansions bundled with it :-) Regards, S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Vavoom is failing to run on my kubuntu at the moment, I'll try to install sid on a different partition when i find the time. But I just did a quick check with doomsday and the shareware versions of heretic and hexen did run without any immediate errors (did not play long though). So I guess we can support them! However the hexdd addon did load but as soon as the first level starts doomsday crashes. Could you check that with vavoom? Otherwise we should leave that out for the moment.

Regarding the latter two, I am sure that chocolate-doom currently does not support them, not sure about doomsday, though. Do you know for sure that Heretic Shareware is properly supported? I'd consider it highly frustrating for our users to send them through a packaging procedure for explicitely supported game data but without providing a matching engine to actually play that game.

Bug#737137: game-data-packager: patch to support hexdd
Package: game-data-packager
Version: 37
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
included is a patch to support the hexen addon 'hexdd.wad'.
This patch also changes the installation folder of heretic and hexen wads
back to /usr/share/games/hexen|heretic as it was before version 30. I originally
suggested the change to put all doom engine files into /usr/share/games/doom
but I now think that was not such a good idea.
Would you consider adding the patch?
One more question: is it allowed to add support for pwads to g-d-p?
Or is there any other recommended way to get pwads packaged?
Best,
Johey

They would also end up in the same directory, making it even more crowded. Yes, of course, they are all data for Doom (and compatible engines).

Currently all Doom engines in Debian that also support playing Heretic or Hexen have /u/s/games/doom set as their IWAD directory. Yes, that's true of course. But aren't the games startet by the desktop entries which point to a wad file directly anyway? The built in wad browsers of the game engines aren't really used in that scenario, so we could split up the wad files into separate directories. I just feel it's getting too messy in /u/s/games/doom, especially if we add support for all the shareware-versions of heretic, hexen and strife to g-d-p. And then I'd like to add support for doom pwads to g-d-p. They would also end up in the same directory, making it even more crowded. Of course I'll change the patch so that all wads end up in one directory if you still think that's the best option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
